This month in THE COFFEE HOUSE:
BP GLOBAL MOVES A US SOLAR PANEL PLANT TO ASIA: ARE WE READY TO COMPETE IN THE EMERGING GREEN ECONOMY?
Even as the Obama administration has launched a substantial green energy program as part of the stimulus plan, BP Global recently announced plans to shut down its solar panel manufacturing facility near Frederick, Maryland and move the operation to China and India. Which raises the question, is the US ready to compete for a significant share of the growing global green energy production market. We put that question to Steven Mufson, energy reporter for the Washington Post. (Host: Mike Tidwell)
THE FORGOTTEN STORY OF A PRO FOOTBALL ICON: ART ROONEY
His image is that of the fat, cigar-chomping sports executive. But as Rob Ruck and Maggie Patterson, two of the authors of Rooney: A Sporting Life reveal, Steeler owner Art Rooney was a three-sport athletic superstar in his youth, but it wasnât baseball, boxing or even football that made him rich, it was betting the ponies. (Host: Mark Cohen)
